We have a high amount of Sudanese (spelling?) aka: people from sudan, here in Toowoomba, they don't really segregate in just one suburb, they work in with our normal jobs in town and they don't cause much ruckus. There is very little violence from them and they try to fit into our culture (clothes, food and housing, schools) Overall, I'm happy they have that mentality and i have respect for them.
I have seen (and heard from mates) that certain nationalities segregate and don't want to adapt or even wanna learn very basic english (some places in sydney I'm thinking of) and where you get charged more cause your not 'their' nationality.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if people migrate into Australia, and adapt our culture, our way of life, our laws, i am more than happy to accept them as Australians, but it's the ones that come here and think the laws don't apply to them, bring their problems with them, and have no interest in calling themselves an Australian (except for a peice of paper).. there the ones we should get f*&^ing rid off...
